Ingredients

• 3 medium (peeled and shredded) Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt (for muffins)
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg (for muffin batter)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin well.

Step 2

Peel and shred the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Wrap the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 4

Divide the shredded potatoes evenly between 6 cups of the muffin tin, pressing them firmly into the bottoms and up the sides to create 'nests.' Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the potato nests.

Step 5

Bake the potato nests in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden and crisp.

Step 6

Carefully crack an egg into each potato nest. Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.

Step 7

While the nests are baking, prepare the corn muffin batter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Step 8

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and 1 egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 9

Spoon the batter into the remaining 6 cups of the muffin tin, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.

Step 10

Bake the corn muffins alongside the eggs in hash nests for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow both the potato nests and corn muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve the eggs in hash nests warm, accompanied by the corn muffins.
